Her name is Eliana and she just turned five years old. And for her fifth birthday party she made the decision to forego her own birthday presents and instead have her friends donate to The Pongo Fund.

We asked her Mom how that came about and she said it really was Eliana’s idea. Even at her young age she understands that she has much while many others do not. So she decided to share.

And that means hungry animals in Portland and beyond will thrive on the food donated by this young philanthropist. An amount so large that it overflowed an 18 gallon bin!

But that’s not all. Because when she delivered the food on Sunday she also stepped right up to join our Sunday morning kibble pack team. Five years old and making the world a better place for those less fortunate.

Kibble on, Eliana. Kibble on!

And this why we Pongo.
